The `pkg` command currently requires a package to have a license file named exactly 'COPYING', which does conform to GNU standards. It also requires the package news file to be named exactly 'NEWS', if it is present, also conforming to GNU standards. Ideally the `pkg` command would be more lenient in what file names it accepts and interprets for these purposes.
All of these files names should also be allowed with an optional file extension of .txt, .md, or .rst. This would allow package developers to follow other preferences or standards, and the `pkg` command will still handle and present that information to the end user.
